Wiring a relay to trigger when Google Doorbell (Battery) is pressed

Hi, I have an existing doorbell system (KOKOM) which is connected to various gate / door latches and internal monitors bult into the walls of my house in different locations which i use so i want to retain the existing doorbell system and add the google doorbell for smart features mainly for when i am not home. 

The button on my existing doorbell  is just a momentary switch and I have created a new facia which retains the existing camera, but removes the button. The aim is to trigger this button from the google doorbell when pressed using the "ring existing chime" feature. 

I have an 18V AC 500mA transformer to power the google, and i have drawn up a schematic using a rectifier which i think will work but am seeking any advice on sizing the resistor or other circuitry to be able to trigger a relay. Thanks for any advice.

For anyone wanting a solution the original post worked, but i changed to a 82ohm 5W resistor. 
See my other thread on a more technical forum:
